Tuesday, March 3, 2009 - Back to blogging??? The Bachelor....A Parents Prayer Calendar...
I doubt anyone has missed me, but I'm thinking about getting back to blogging..... not sure where I'll find the time, but who does, huh? It's more like we make the time just like we do for anything else. I think instead of trying to make my posts be so "profound", I'm gonna focus on just sharing with you all what's on my mind from day to day.....whether anyone cares or not! ha!
I guess the thing that's on my mind right now is still being quite upset at The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick. I know...shallow, huh? I love reality shows! Now some of them are quite gross and show way more than anyone would want to see...and I guess The Bachelor could be guilty of that too. I don't see how those girls can do this show knowing that he's kissing all the other girls too!!!
Honestly I've not watched any other season! Not even quite sure how I got into this one. We don't have cable, so I end up watching some shows online after the fact. I think I just stumbled across it and before I knew it I was hooked! Has anyone else been watching it?
I think the thing that ticked me off the most was the fact that instead of just breaking up with Melissa privately, he felt the need to bring her back on national TV and break her heart in front of everyone? I mean, yes, the whole show was in front of everyone, but in the end she won the prize....she knew what she was getting into. She knew that she would either be one of the girls he didn't pick or be the one he did pick. No surprises there. But to think you're coming on a taping to talk about what's happened since the show ended and end up getting dumped by him? Soooooo mean!!! And I really thought Jason was a nice guy!
And to top it off, he can't get Molly off his mind and that's one of the reasons he broke it off! I mean at least he was "honest" in the end...but then within 10 minutes of breaking it off, he's on there with Molly asking her out! I'm very surprised that she jumped at the chance so quickly knowing he just broke it off with Melissa! And to get that physical with him right away?? If she's smart, she'll hear his side then see the way he humiliated her on national TV and wonder what the heck she's doing....and when he'll do it to her!
Anyway..... that's the shallow thinking I have about that..... The thing is, it made me soooo thankful that I'm not single anymore ....... so thankful that I found the man of my dreams..... so thankful that I have my four kids...... so thankful that I have Christ in my life! The thing that does make me sad is that this guy does not .... and he's raising a little boy who will not know Christ either unless someone crosses their path and shares him with them. It also made me my heart so heavy for my kids...... and made me feel more of a burden to start praying for their future spouse and the path they take to get to that point. I pray that they allow the Lord to guide every step they make and that they turn to Him in everything! I also pray that they make being with someone who knows Christ the number ONE priority when they start even thinking about a future spouse!
So.... I guess The Bachelor show made me think about a lot of things..... what a jerk Jason was and how I need to pray for my kids future spouses ....
With that thought, I searched for an organized way to pray for my kids...
